19. Von Miller, DE/LB, Texas A&M: Whether he ran by you or through you, any attempts to stop Von Miller usually ended with a quarterback on the turf. Though he bounced from undersized DE to weakside LB in his first two seasons, Miller finally found his niche when he moved to the hybrid “joker” position, which allowed him to roam the field and maximize his athletic abilities. The results? 21.5 tackles for a loss and 17 sacks as a junior. An ankle injury seriously hampered him for the first month of his senior season (limiting him to just eight tackles and no sacks in four games), but Miller healed up in time to collect 60 tackles and 10.5 sacks over A&M's final nine contests, securing a Butkus Award win.
